Comprendiendo Headache Relief

Many chronic headaches, migraines, and neck pain are actually caused by your eyes—specifically, a misalignment between your eyes known as Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD). Even small misalignments can cause your eye muscles to overwork, leading to painful symptoms. We specialize in identifying and treating these vision-based causes of headaches to provide lasting relief.

Preguntas Frecuentes sobre Headache Relief

Yes. Many chronic headaches are caused by binocular vision dysfunction — a measurable misalignment between your two eyes that forces the eye muscles to overwork. An eye doctor with sensorimotor testing and Neurolens evaluation can detect this when standard exams and neurology workups come back normal.

The most common visual causes of headaches are binocular vision dysfunction (BVD), uncorrected or under-corrected refractive error, convergence insufficiency, accommodative dysfunction, and digital eye strain from prolonged screen use. Each has a different treatment — prism lenses, updated prescription, vision therapy, or workplace ergonomics.

A headache-focused eye exam goes beyond a standard refraction. We test your binocular alignment with cover testing, Maddox rod, and Neurolens infrared eye tracking. We measure convergence, accommodation, and fixation disparity. The goal is to find a measurable visual cause — or rule it out definitively so you can pursue other workup.

A comprehensive headache evaluation including sensorimotor testing and Neurolens measurement typically costs $200–$500. The exam portion may be covered by medical insurance when coded for headache evaluation. Neurolens lenses, if prescribed, are a separate cost. We verify your insurance benefits before your visit.

Computer Vision Syndrome is the clinical term for digital eye strain — a cluster of symptoms including headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision, and neck pain caused by prolonged screen use. Treatment includes workspace ergonomics, anti-fatigue lenses, and addressing any underlying binocular dysfunction or dry eye.
